Asteroids is a Boot.dev project! I built a simple video game, based on the classic Asteroids. If you've never played before, you can take a look at this version of the game. The learning goals of this project are:
- Introduction to multi-file Python projects
- Real-world use case for object-oriented programming
- To have a ton of fun building a rewarding project!
